not a ticket vending machine
[edit]
That orange box is not a ticket vending machine. It's an "invalidator": If you have a ticket which requires punching (such as a stripe ticket), you have to punch it at the beginning of your journey. Otherwise, your ticket is invalid. It may seem a bit weird to refer to the process of making a ticket valid as "invalidation" - however, cancelling a ticket makes it invalid for subsequent trips and that's why the device is called an "invalidator". -- 2001:A60:18EE:1100:5CDD:5D3:C233:48E8 07:38, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
